"The One" is the debut single by Slaughterhouse, a hip hop supergroup consisting of rappers Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Royce da 5'9".

The beat samples heavily from Boogie Down Productions' "I'm Still #1" and Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away".

A behind the scenes footage from the music video, which features commentary from Slaughterhouse and the director, was leaked on Cordero's Three/21 Media website on June 23, 2009.

Lupe Fiasco also did a freestyle over the beat for his mixtape Enemy of the State.
